Terje Wessel

Professor Wessel researches urban inequality at the University of Oslo, examining how housing markets contribute to socioeconomic disparities in Nordic cities.

Key research areas:

• Wealth accumulation through homeownership
• Ethnic segregation patterns
• Housing policy impacts
• Intergenerational inequality

Recent publications analyze wealth gaps between homeowners/renters across urban-rural hierarchies and tenure transitions of migrants in Nordic capitals. His work informs policies on equitable urban development and housing accessibility.
